The original version of this Article contained extensive errors in ordering of references in the Reference list.

In addition, this Article contained the following typographical errors in the reference citations.

In the Material and Methods section,

“Dose selection was based on the analysis of previously published data, including results of in vitro studies on the assessment of R/NIR radiation of different

spectral ranges, irradiance levels and exposure time of blood cells6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17.”

now reads:

“Bootstrap analysis of variance was performed, as described previously, to evaluate whether changes in the values of individual parameters during ECC were significant16,18.”

now reads:

In the Discussion section,

“In our CPB model, we carefully selected the animal species. The physiology and anatomy of the porcine cardiovascular system and coagulation are similar to that of humans19,20. In addition, porcine PLTs share greater similarities in biochemical properties with human PLTs than other non-primate species21,22.”

“The most important factor contributing to the hemostatic defect associated with CPB is generally considered to be an alteration in PLT function23,24. Extensive PLT loss may lead to hemostasis disorders and, consequently, to uncontrolled bleeding. On the other hand, in some patients, a reversal phenomenon of reactive thrombocytosis after cardiac operations is observed, which can predispose to myocardial infarction and vein graft occlusion in the early postoperative period25.”

“Human observational studies show that CPB induces a rapid decrease in PLT count within the first 5 min of circulation and that the largest deficit occurs within30 min of circulation26,27 and can last up to several days after surgery.”

“First, blood contact with the artificial surface leads to PLT activation and changes in their shape, which promotes adhesion to the artificial perfusion circuit28.”

“We have shown that in the group of pigs which received the LLLT treatment, PLT count during ECC reached a higher value than in the control group29, (Fig. 1).”

“As such, irradiation most likely disrupts the activation processes of the coagulation system at a level common to all receptors. Importantly, this process is dose-dependent and reversible17,39.”

“What is also important, absorption of R/NIR radiation can significantly disturb the energy of hydrogen bonds, which, in turn, can lead to their disruption and the increased dissociation of water molecules43,46.”
